Though more than a few analysts had predicted he would be Top 10 pick, Geno Smith sat around all night on Thursday without being selected in the first round of the NFL Draft. In fact, the only quarterback selected was the Bills’ surprising choice of E.J. Manuel with the 16th pick. Rather than hang around on the second day to see which team swoops him up (presumably) in the 2nd round, Geno told the Matron Saint that he won’t be coming back to Radio City Music Hall for Day 2 of the draft.

Because trolls have been fond of making sweeping claims about Geno Smith’s character for months leading up to the draft, it’s only right that Mike Florio used the news as an excuse to drub him some more.

If Smith doesn’t return, he’ll be confirming in the minds of many that he can’t show grit and resolve under pressure. That he’ll sink his head and slump his shoulders when the team is 14 points behind in the third quarter. That he’ll pout if he’s not the starter or if he gets benched. That he’ll complain about the use of too many running plays when he prefers to air it out.

“HE’LL ME-FIRST GLORY BOY UNTIL THERE’S NO GLORY FOR ANYONE ELSE WHEN IT SHOULD REALLY GO TO THE GRITSTERS.”

“IF I DON’T GET TO PIE GENO SMITH IN THE FACE AND PEE ON HIS SHOES, HE’S JUST SHOWING THE WORLD THAT HE’S A SULLEN, DETACHED WHIMPERY BITCH. THAT’S WHAT SEPARATES THE GREATS FROM THE BUSTS.”

“THIS MAN IS SHOWING GREAT DISRESPECT TO RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL, WHICH IS ONE OF THE NATION’S GREAT VENUES TO SIT AROUND AND NOT GET WHAT YOU WANT. GENO SMITH OWES THE CITY OF NEW YORK AN APOLOGY!”

A guy who suffered extreme disappointment wants to go be with his family, and doesn’t want the cameras on him for a second day in a row? WHAT A PUSSY. THIS IS WHY HE NEVER WON THE BIG GAMES!

Love some of these comments from the actual PFT article. “What a fraud, I had heard this guy wasn’t clutch. Sure don’t want him leading my team!” Mike Florio would be happy if our brains just turned to jello. PFT would be the fucking Economist.

Who shows up for the 2nd round of the draft? Really, if you’re not a sure-fire 1st-rounder with a jersey with your name already printed on it, there’s no reason to show up. Doesn’t The Rog hand off the pick announcements to some underling after the 1st round, anyway?

Now they’re saying Geno Smith decided to attend the 2nd day, so expect Florio’s new column calling Geno a flip-flopping flake who doesn’t have the courage of his convictions and how is he gonna convert that 3rd and 15 if he can’t pick a play and see it all the way through and FUCK MIKE FLORIO!!!

It takes a lot of “grit and resolve” to sit in a room and wait for a call on your cell phone. He’s right, it’s on the exact same level as playing in front of 50,000 people while having 6’5″ monsters chasing you.

“That he’ll complain about the use of too many running plays when he prefers to air it out.”
What a fucking moron. As much as I hate Mike Smith on Numbers Never Lie, he broke down all of Geno’s passes as a starter after Gruden said his stats were inflated. Something like 70 or 75% of his passes attempted were 15 yards or less. Yeah Florio, he totally only wants to air it out. Stupid prick. Also, absolutely love that Teo wasnt drafted in the first round.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, Mike Florio is the toilet paper that won’t come off your shoe when you leave the bathroom. He’s the mosquito you feel biting you but you can’t see it to kill it. He’s the person you wished his mom actually swallowed that night 45 years ago but didn’t.

Hey Mike I wonder how would react to being humiliated on live television? I wonder how you would react to having a camera shoved in your face as your career and character are dissected by a bucnh of assholes who probably got picked last in gym class every day and never put a fucking uniform on except for band practice? I wonder if you haveany integrity but you provided that answer in 2011 when you were licking the comissioner and NFL Owners man taint during the lock out. Fuck off and die you asshole.
